Mission: Impossible 2 (2000)

This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris's mission, should they choose to accept it, is to discuss Mission: Impossible 2, which turns 25 this week and we also have what is being billed as the final entry in the franchise, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hitting theaters. Tom Cruise was back as Ethan Hunt, this time on the trail of a rogue IMF agent, Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), and tries to stop him before he can come into possession of a deadly genetically engineered virus known as Chimera. To help on his mission, Ethan is tasked with recruiting a thief named Nya Nordoff-Hall (Thandiwe Newton), who is Ambrose's former flame. Zach and Chris discuss how this movie is wildly different in tone compared to the other Mission: Impossible movies, IMF communication missiles, several similarities to Goldeneye, Ethan's Street Fighter-style martial arts moves, and much more. You can stream Mission: Impossible 2 on Paramount+, Prime Video, and Hulu. Next week, we're going undercover with Chevy Chase to discuss Fletch, which is turning 40.
